Airbag motorcycle jacket anyone?

Ahh, I see, so you attach yourself to the bike with a string? Then when you forget to detach and get off the bike, it inflates. Then you can go for a swim.

Sounds good.

DIYer, go get your permit. Pretty easy test where I live. Read the the motorcycle manuel at the DMV, memorize all the Q&A's in the book, take the test, pass. You have to get that before you can get your license anyway, at least where I live.

it wont inflate from any detachment it has to be a very hard jerk pulling it they say they have it made so it will not inflate if you forget to detach and walk away

Can we get one of the Board Ninjas to rename this thread "DIYer's Tirade"?

I agree that the posting in this thread is a bit harsh, but I will continue to post because I would Like to see a thread about new motorcycle safety technology take off. I think the companies working on a new level potentially life saving gear is great and want to receive and share as much information on the topic as possible... preferably in a civil manner but beggars can't be choosers

FYI if you get one of these get 1 to 2 sizes bigger then you normally wear, or even the chest measurements on the site work out to. I got a large and its really small on on 6'ft 170 lb frame, returning it for a 2XL, lol
sounds silly but that's what the guy wears i been emailing who is about my same build.

did you test inflate it?

 

[DIYer]

no,.. not yet

DIYer, don't try to act all hard by bashing other peoples responses to your questions about safety gear. lol. It's less about people not being able to "take your heat," and more about them not wanting to deal with your ignorance while learning about the topic. Using intelligent caustic phrases like "duh" does not help your argument that you're not being harsh. It leaves me pretty convinced that you are sufficiently uneducated in the topic, which is fine in itself. However, it gets annoying for people when you are not understanding that there are others in the same situation as you. Oh, and I hate to say this because of the way my ego-puffing colleagues use this, but it is directly related to one of your attempted jabs at fellow forum member: I am a rocket scientist. Now, this has nothing to do with my work, but my analysis of this thread is that you are simply unclear of the purpose of an online forum. This is a forgivable mistake, and can easily be cured with a little of your beloved research. Hope you have a splendid day!

soooo decided to drag this back any update on the jacket?... My interest re peaked now that the Dainese D-Air system has been released in a beta, and is slated for commercial sale at the end of the year. It also helps that Valentino Rossi wears it.
